Gap is best at 0.7mm, the '6's will be "ok" but gapping at 1.1mm is completely wrong, PFR6G's are gapped at 1.1 but since the older cars suffer from coil pack problems then the PFR7B's (or 6's) gapped to 0.7mm provide for the best result in my experience.

Later cars can be gapped at 0.8mm if the elctrics are "clean" like Danny's.

yes i agree gapped my pfr 7b at 0.7mm car runs really well car although coil packs are breaking up at the end 100 % improvement used to run real rough on plugs supplied by my dealer in holland they were the denso type pk20pr-p8 my 95 jappy wrx ran like a pig on these misfiring hesitation etc wrong plug for the import i think
